Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The smallest unit of time used in scheduling a project. calendar units are generally in hours - days - or weeks - but can also be in quarters years - months - shifts - or even minutes






2. Form of progressive elaboration planning where the work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in detail at a low level of the work breakdown structure - while the work far in the future is planned at a relatively high level of the work break






3. Narrative description of products - services or results






4. Estimate of the amount of work that has been completed on an activity or a work breakdown structure component






5. Analyzing activity sequences - durations - resource requirements and schedule constraints to create the project schedule






6. Hierarchically organized depiction of the identified project risks arranged by risk category and subcategory that identifies the various areas and causes of potential risks.






7. The expected total cost of a schedule activity - a work breakdown structure component or the project when the defined scope of work will be completed. Calculated based on performance to date or estimated by the project team based on other factors






8. Developing a document that formally authorizes a project or phase and documenting initial requirement that satisfy the stakeholders needs and expectations






9. The approved estimate for the project or any work breakdown structure component or any schedule activity






10. An estimating technique that uses the values of parameters - such as scope - cost - budget - and duration or measures of scale such as size - weight - and complexity from a previous similar activity as the basis of estimating the same parameter or me






11. Temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product - service or result






12. Tracking team member performance - providing feedback - resolving issues and managing changes to optimize project performance






13. Auditing the quality requirements and the results from quality control measurements to ensure appropriate quality standards and operational definitions are used

17. A product - result or service generated by a process






18. Area of project management defined by its knowledge requirements and described in terms of its component processes - practices - inputs - outputs - tools and techniques






19. Risk response planning technique for a threat that creates changes to the project management plan that are meant to either eliminate the risk or to protect the project objectives from its impact.






20. The earliest point in time on which the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity can start - based on the schedule network logic - the data date and any schedule constraints.






21. Calendar of working days and non-working days that determines those dates on which each specific recourse is idle or can be active






22. Condition or situation unfavorable to the project - a negative set of circumstances - a negative set of events - a risk that will have a negative impact on a project objective if it occurs - or a possibility for negative changes






23. Logical relationship where initiation of the work of the successor schedule activity depends upon the initiation of the work of the predecessor schedule activity






24. Features and functions that characterize a product - service or result






25. Aggregating the estimated costs of individual activities or work packages to establish an authorized cost baseline






26. Bar chart showing the amount of time that a resource is scheduled to work over a series of time periods.






27. Determining which risks may affect the project and documenting their characteristics






28. Approved specific version of the detailed scope statement - work breakdown structure (WBS) and its associated WBS dictionary






29. Risk response planning technique that indicates the project team has decided not to change the project management plan to deal with a risk - or is unable to identify any other suitable response strategy






30. A formal approved document that defines how the project is executed - monitored - and controlled.






31. Slack - Total amount of time that a schedule activity maybe delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint.






32. Those processes performed to finalize all activities across all project management process groups to formally close the project or phase






33. Processes required to manage the timely completion of a project






34. Logical relationship where completion of work of the successor activity cannot finish until the completion of work of the predecessor activity.






35. Graphical representation of situations showing causal influences - time ordering of events and other relationships among variables and outcomes






36. Directing - managing - performing and accomplishing the project work - providing the deliverables and providing work performance information






37. Documents and data on prior project including project files - records - correspondence - closed contracts - and closed projects






38. Processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required and only the work required to complete the project successfully






39. Authorized budget assigned to the scheduled work to be accomplished for a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component






40. A source of variation that is inherent in the system and predictable. on a control chart - it appears as part of the random process variation and is indicated by random pattern of points within the control limits. also referred to as random cause






41. Application of knowledge - skills - tools and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements






42. Permission and direction to begin work on a specific schedule activity or work package or control account. sanctions project work to ensure that the work is done by the identified organization - at the right time - and in the proper sequence






43. Provider of products - services or results






44. Logical relationship where completion of the successor schedule activity is dependent upon the initiation of the predecessor schedule activity






45. A specific technique for measuring the performance of work and used to establish the performance measurement baseline
